The first photo shows the almost completed ditch for capturing runoff. Even though the climate was arid there were occasional intense storms. The second photo is of a guy from Switzerland holding Padre Antonio's pet spider monkey. It was usually tethered to that tree. One day it got loose and was wreaking havoc inside the hospital and I had to catch it. I finally got it out of the rafters after receiving several bites. Padre Antonio was able to get frequent young people to stay a month or more to volunteer in the hospital. The bottom photo is of a project of another Peace Corps Volunteer who lived in town. She worked with a women's group way out in the campo. I rode a mule and she rode a horse to get there. These women are standing in front of a chicken coop.....a small grant helped to pay for the fencing....so that the chickens could be controlled....and eggs could be more easily found.
